Revlon Dotticure

Hey y'all!

I'm finally free from final exams, so I'm sure there will be a lot of  posts until the end of the year!

Today I have a super quick and easy nail art look: a dotticure!

 I used two coats Revlon Posh and then I dotted on Revlon Silver Dollar.

This look lasted for an entire week! I was very impressed, seeing as I usually get about four days out of a manicure!

Dotticures are my go to nail art look when I'm in a rush. They are quick, easy, and I can do them with about anything! 

What is your go to nail art look?

French Manicure with Flower Accents

Hello Lacquer Lovers!

Polishes Used:

Rimmel London French White Nail Tip Liner

Rimmel London French Rose

Sinful Colors Daredevil

Sinful Colors Cloud 9

FingerPaints Silkscreen Green

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Mummies

Hello Lacquer Lovers!

Today I have a super cute mummy manicure! This design is popular in the nail art community, as I've seen many of my fellow bloggers do it!

I started off with two coats of Petites Vintage Gray. Then, using a L.A. Colors Art Deco nail art striper in Black I added in all of the lines. For the eyes I used Wet n Wild French White Creme and Rimmel London Black Satin.

I absolutely love this look! It was super easy, taking me about ten minutes to complete!

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays for nail art, as there are so many options!

I'll be back on Thursday with a spooky Twinsie Thursday post!

No Tools Needed Halloween Nail Art: Ghosts

Hello Lacquer Lovers!
Today I have a spooky nail art look that is perfect for those just entering the nail art community or seasoned pros and there are no nail art tools needed!

For this look you need 4 things: a orange polish, a white polish, a black polish, and something to make dots with, such as a bobby pin or tooth pick.

I used FingerPaints Iconic Orange, Wet n Wild French White Creme, Rimmel London Black Satin, and a bobby pin.

First, start off with two coats of your orange polish. Then, using your white polish, make an "S" shape on one side of your nail and fill it in. To make the ghost faces use a bobby pin to dot the eyes and mouth on with the black polish.

This look is super easy and can be done in ten minutes or less!

If you try this look out, show me on my facebook page or tag me on Instagram (@samantha_faye16). I'd love to see!

Daring Digits Spot On Over a Black & White Gradient

Hello Lacquer Lovers! 

Today I have a pretty awesome nail art look inspired by @mypolishedtips13 and @whimsicalicious on Instagram! I saw this look when I was browsing Instagram very early in the morning and a few hours later I was flaunting this look out and about.

I started off with two coats of Wet n Wild French White Creme. For the gradient I used Rimmel London Black Satin and Petites Vintage Gray. I topped the gradient off with a gradient of  Daring Digits Spot On. I applied some top coat and the look was complete!

I love the way this looks so much! Next time I plan on using a glitter topper with smaller glitters to get more of a gradient effect. Maybe I'll use Finger Paints Santa's Magic?

Have you ever tried something like this before? Would you try it in the future? Let me know below!

Gothic Lace Nail Art Foil

* The following nail art foil was sent to me for my honest review. For more information, please visit my disclosure policy.*

Hello Lacquer Lovers!

Today I have a gothic lace style manicure using N.Nail Noble Black Lace Flower Nail Foil Transfer [NNAIL-E32] from KKCenterHK. 

I applied the foil over two coats of Sinful Colors Hazard with Ciate Foil Fix. 
The foil set I received had a small bottle of foil glue, but the brush was too long for the bottle, bending it to the point of no return. 

The foil has a beautiful design. There are multiple flower designs all over the foil with a honey comb style background. 
Nail foils are super easy to use and a little goes a long way!

I'll be back on Sunday! :)

Pineapple Skittle

Hello Lacquer Lovers!

Today I have a super cute pineapple skittle, inspired by elleandish on YouTube.

I think this is the perfect manicure to celebrate the end of the summer!

Thumb & Pinky

I used two coats of China Glaze Metro Pollen-Tin. Then, I added some gold studs to add something a little extra!

Index

I started off with two coats of China Glaze At Vase Value. Then, I added three white stripes using L.A. Colors Art Deco White Striper and added a gold stud.

Middle

I started off with two coats of Wet n Wild French White Creme. Then taking China Glaze Metro Pollen-Tin I drew an oval. I used L.A. Colors Art Deco Stripers in Bright Green and Bright Orange to add the pineapple's characteristics. The pineapple is a little off center, but practice makes perfect. :)

Ring

I started off with two coats of China Glaze At Vase Value and I topped it off with one thick coat of a Sally Hansen Gem Crush in Bling-Tastic.

What do you think? Have you ever thought about rocking fruit as a mani?

How to Revive an Old Manicure {ft. KKCenterHk}

   * The following nail art foil was sent to me for my honest review. For more information, please visit my disclosure policy.*

 Hello Lacquer Lovers! 

Do you ever need to redo your manicure, but don't have the time? Today I will show you how to revive your old manicure in seconds thanks to KKCenterHK!

To revive your old manicure using nail art foils you will need three things: top coat, nail foils, and nail foil glue.

I used NYC Grand Central Station, N.NAIL Lovely Flower Sea Nail Foil Transfer [NNAIL-E28], and nail foil glue {I used Ciate Foil Fix}. The foil set I received had a small bottle of foil glue, but the brush was too long for the bottle and was bent.

{Optional}

First, you want to top coat your old manicure so you have a smooth surface. This is especially important if you have any chips. I didn't do this step, as my polish had not chipped yet.
My base color is OPI I Think in Pink.

Next, apply your foil glue. You can apply it all over the nail or in a design. I chose to do a chevron french manicure. Wait until the glue is tacky and apply the nail foil. Apply top coat to seal in the foil.

Tada! You have now revived your old manicure! This is the way to go if your pinched on time, as it took me less than ten minutes total!

Revlon Nail Art Style Strips: Wild One

Hello Lacquer Lovers!

Today I have a super fun and funky manicure to show you!

I recently picked up a few boxes of Revlon Nail Art Style Strips and so far I'm loving them!
For this manicure, I used Wild One.

Each box contains sixteen nail art strips, an orange stick, and a mini nail file. 

Application is fairly easy. First, prepare your nails by wiping them down with acetone. Then, apply the strips one by one, filing each one down to fit your nails. Lastly, apply top coat to seal in the strips.

These strips are made out of real nail lacquer, so they are easy to remove. They also wear like steel. I've had these on for three days and they look like they did when I first applied them. 

What do you think about nail strips? Do you love them? Hate them? Let me know below! 

Twin Nails: Gummy Bears

Hello Lacquer Lovers!

My nails are much shorter for this post! I felt like I needed a change, so these square and short nails may be around for a while. ;)

Today I've done twin nails with the lovely Marijana from Nails From Fairy Tale. The group's theme was candy and our sub-theme was gummies, so we chose gummy bears!

I thought that this look was going to be a walk in the park, but I was wrong. It was much harder than I anticipated, but I tried my best and that is all that matters. :)

Polishes Used:

OPI Red My Fortune Cookie

Wet N Wild French White Creme

Wet n Wild Black Creme

Make sure to stop by Marijana's blog!

I'll see y'all on Sunday!

Leopard Skittle

Hello Lacquer Lovers!

Today I have a nail art look featuring some of my favorite brands! 

I started off by applying two coats of my favorite OPI polish, Red My Fortune Cookie, on my index and pinky fingers. 

To create the leopard look, I used three polishes. I started off with two coats of Rimmel London Carmel Cupcake. Then, using Zoya Louise and Wet N Wild Black, I created the leopard pattern.

I topped it off with top coat and I was good to go! 

This is a perfect nail art look for any time of the year, as you can change up the colors! 

I'll see you on Thursday with a super cute summer inspired nail art look!

Lilac Tribal

Hello Lacquer Lovers!

Today I have a lilac tribal look, inspired by a nail art look I found on chantellevermont.com.

For this look, I used two even coats of Sinful Colors Sinful Shine in Pragmatic. It is a gorgeous lilac with a slight shimmer.

Then, I used L.A. Colors nail art stripers in Black and White to create the tribal patterns. 

After it dried I used China Glaze Fairy Dust to bring it all together and top coated.

I'm really loving the tribal look this summer! 

What look are you loving right now? Let me know in the comments! :)
